Instrument Quality Air

Instrument quality air is compressed air which has been chilled to a 2 degrees dew point & then filtered to 0.01 micron & 99.9% of the oil & particle matter removed the air is almost breathing quality.

How do we chill the compressor air?

We use a refrigerated air drier, this device is a refrigerated heat exchanger, when the warm compressed air passes through the refrigerated radiator it is then cooled to around 2 degrees. This in turn causes the warm water vapour droplets to cool & condense together & form larger droplets & these are much easier to remove with an automatic water trap.

How do we filter the air?

Well firstly we pre filter it, this is done prior to the refrigeration unit and is a 25micron filter assembly that removes large debris before it enters the radiator.

Then we use a 0.01micron coalescence filter to remove any residual oil and dirt.

This is instrument quality air.

Where would we use Instrument Quality Air?

  • Many pneumatic equipment manufacturers are specifying instrument quality, this can increase pneumatic controls life by many times.
  • Automotive body shops mostly insist on it to achieve a high quality paint finish.
  •  Pharmaceutical, dental, cement product production, food manufacturing and even tyre repair shops.

Users from all types of industries that require compressed air are specifying “Instrument Quality Compressed Air”.
